Door No. 1 has closed for Seton Hall.

Siena coach Fran McCaffery, the top target on Seton Hall's list for its next head coach, is headed out to the midwest. As first reported by the Albany Times-Union, McCaffery will be formally introduced Monday as the next head coach at Iowa.

The 50-year old McCaffery, who is from Philadelphia, served as an assistant at Notre Dame for 10 seasons. His wife Margaret — a former Irish women's basketball player — is originally from Minnesota.

With McCaffery officially out of the mix for the Pirates head coaching position, Seton Hall will likely turn to Robert Morris head coach Mike Rice, Iona's Kevin Willard or even elsewhere to Cornell's Steve Donahue.
